a lifeline to academics at risk

The University of Mosul Liberated

The latest images show the extent to which the University’s buildings and facilities have been burnt and destroyed by ISIS.

Iraqi soldiers believe the University was used as a training centre, while the dormitory has been turned into a makeshift chemical weapons factory.

Despite the campus being liberated, several adjacent streets remain under ISIS control. The College of Medicine on the West-side of the Tigris River is the last remaining University building to remain under ISIS control.
